After Zoning Administrator Simmons outlined the subject matter of the meeting, Mr. Garvis Sams spoke for 15 minutes in support of the Venturi/Cruchelow request for approval of an Ordinance to amend a rezoning condition which had earlier been submitted by Mr. Venturi's Mack Dobbs Properties. Nothing 'new' was added, just restated for the record. A stenographer was present to record what was said. Future litigation is probable.
4 people spoke in opposition to any change in zoning and one person spoke in favor of having the Pawn Shop remain.
The 5 member City Council voted 5-0 to deny the request for a change in zoning to allow the Pawn Shop to remain.
The Venturi attorney, Mr. Garvis Sams, said that he would file a challenge in the Cobb Superior Court within the required 30 days.
